What Border would that be? The one between Iraq and Syria?
So we have record numbers of illegals crossing the border, some engage in shootouts with the border patrol, we are completely IMPOTENT at preventing their entry, we don't know who they are or whence they hail...
BUT don't worry, we've screen them for Ebola!
Maybe they will put up a sign: “All illegals with Ebola please report to the border patrol station ... ASAP”. I’m sure it will work.

“[I]n light of this incident,” Earnest said at his daily briefing, “the administration has taken the step of recirculating our guidance to law enforcement agencies that are responsible for securing the border, to those agencies that represent individuals who staff the airline industry, and to medical professionals all across the country to make sure that people are aware that there is an important protocol that should be implemented if an individual presents with symptoms that are consistent with Ebola.”
We are f’d. If that isn’t the most paper-thin, translucent, watered down, vaporous, worthless and weak, thinned to nothingness, lame statement that was ever uttered by an executive branch of any administration of any time, anywhere,.......... Welp, I have no recourse but to label it satire. Otherwise I would be tempted to rub the administration’s nose in Mr. Duncan’s vomit.
Yeah, the coyotes bring the people to the screening location before they continue sneaking them into the country.
It keeps getting worser and worser.
If they have the means to screen them, they have the means to stop them.
(0’s new Goebbels): “our guidance to law enforcement agencies that are responsible for securing the border”
These people could make every bird in a murder of crows—a large flock—blush bright crimson red.
Barack sh!t!
ISIS sends some of its Western jihadis to go to Ebola regions to make contact with Ebola victims, infiltrate into the West and when they show symptoms drop them off in a large city to kiss everyone they come across.
How did everyone in the room keep from laughing at the absurdity of this statement?
...but 11,000,000,000 got thru it? And we can’t find them?
Oh, I feel so much better.

Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need 
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
yeah, right. Thousands and thousand of people streaming across the border every day and we’re assured they’re going to investigate anyone who even looks sick. Right.
What a dunderhead. Incubation is 2 to 21 days during which time the infected person is asymptomatic. So they can smoothly enter the country with nobody the wiser. Then a day or two later after entering the US -- BAM -- they are heaving all over the place and contaminating everything in sight before they finally get admitted to a hospital. IF there are any beds left in the isolation ward.
NOBODY in government is taking this seriously. At all.
If anybody has that gif of Putin laughing, this would be the thread in which to use it.
PING!
OMG
